That 109E...

Ed, thank you, as ever, for finding and posting these links. It's always a treat.

Larry,

It reminds me of Bf 109E-1 WNr.5375 of the Stab/JG 53, which was photographed at La Villiaze, Guernsey.

It was lost 5.Sept. 1940 while being flown by Hptm. Wilhelm Meyerweissflog, a 51 year old Stabsoffizer. P.o.W. near Monkton near Manston.

References: Gen.Qu.6.Abt. (microfilm roll #2)-Vol.3;

Prien, JG 53, I (2nd), p.198;
SAM 7.5, Feb. 85, Payne, p. 314-5 dwg & photo.

Hope this helps, GRM
